Here's what we know of them, so far:
These high risk drivers climb into the anonymity of an
automobile and take out their frustrations on anybody
at any time.

For them, frustration levels are high, and level of
concern for fellow motorists is low.
They run stop signs and red lights, speed, tailgate,
weave in and out of traffic, pass on the right, make
improper and unsafe lane changes, make hand and
facial gestures, scream, honk, and flash their lights.

They drive at speeds far in excess of the norm, which
causes them to: follow too closely, change lanes
frequently and abruptly without notice (signals), pass
on the shoulder or unpaved portions of the roadway,
and leer at and/or threaten - verbally or through
gestures - motorists who are thoughtless enough to
be in front of them.

It is unlawful for any person to park a motor vehicle
or, if parked, to allow a motor vehicle to remain

When Confronted By An Aggressive Driver: First and
foremost, make every attempt to get out of the way.

Put your pride in the back seat. Do not challenge
them by speeding up or attempting to hold-your-own
in your travel lane.

Wear your seat belt. It will hold you in your seat and
behind the wheel in case you need to make an
abrupt driving maneuver, and it will protect you in a
crash.

Avoid eye contact.

Ignore gestures and refuse to return them.

Report aggressive drivers to the appropriate
authorities by providing a vehicle description, license
number, location, and if possible, direction of travel.
If you have a cell phone and can do it safely, call the
police - many have special numbers.

If an aggressive driver is involved in a crash farther
down the road, stop a safe distance from the crash
scene, wait for the police to arrive, and report the
driving behavior that you witnessed. Avoid the
challenges or confrontations of an aggressive driver
and support law enforcement's efforts to rid the
streets and highways of this menace.

It is unlawful for any person to park a vehicle
on any public street between the hours of
2:00 AM and 6:00 AM of any day.

Permission for overnight parking for up to three
consecutive nights every calendar month can be
obtained by calling Central Communications at
847.270.9111 and have your information added
to the overnight log.

Circumstances where a vehicle needs to be
parked for a longer period, supervisory
authorization is required.

This includes overnight visitors and drive way
repairs.

The vehicle parked in the street must not cause a
road obstruction, block driveways or access to
fire hydrants.
